Beyoncé provided a sneak peek into her birthday celebrations by posting a rare photo with both of her parents, mom Tina and dad Mathew Knowles, on social media.
The 32-time Grammy winner, who is the most decorated artist in Grammy history, celebrated her 42nd birthday on September 4 with an intimate family-filled party.
On Monday, the “Alien Superstar” hitmaker took to Instagram to post a series of photos from her birthday, which she celebrated with her parents and husband Jay-Z.
In the black and white photograph, the mother of three beams from ear to ear as her father, 71, who formerly served as her manager, planted a kiss on her left cheek, and her mother, 69, kissed her right.
The singer’s parents were married from 1980 until 2011 when they divorced. They also have a 37-year-old daughter named Solange.
Beyoncé also shared a picture of her husband, who smiled as he posed with his famous wife in front of a metallic balloon display that read, “Happy Bday.”
The “’03 Bonnie & Clyde” hitmaker wore a T-shirt with his wife’s face on it, proving he’s her biggest fan.
Beyoncé appeared to be in excellent spirits as she drank several drinks to commemorate the occasion.
She even showed fans her spectacular birthday cake, which featured a disco ball at the top in classic “Renaissance” world tour fashion.
Beyoncé celebrated her birthday with an incredible performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., during her final Los Angeles-area performance of her tour.
“My soul is full. I’m so thankful, I’m trying not to cry. I’m thankful to be alive,” she told the crowd. “I’m thankful to be on stage. I’m thankful to look out and see your faces.”
“I’m thankful to be able to provide a safe space for all of y’all. I’m thankful for music, for the ability to heal myself through music which then heals all of you,” she continued.
“I’m thankful that we all have the ability to make lemonade out of our lemons. I thank you that I’m here at f–king 42. I’m grateful for joy, and I thank God.”
Diana Ross was also in attendance and was called onstage to sing “Happy Birthday” to Queen Bey following a rendition of her 1976 song “Love Hangover.”
Tina took to social media on her daughter’s special day to post a rare photo of Beyoncé spending quality time with her three children.
“Screaming Happy Birthday to my daughter, my best friend, my confidant,” the Knowles matriarch, who is also mom to daughter Solange, captioned a throwback snap of Beyoncé blowing out candles from a previous year.
“I thank God, for choosing me to be the vessel in which you traveled to get to this world,” she added.
